I I took a 27-second shower cuz NO WAY was it gonna bite and kill me in the shower!!! Get it!” Me: “AHH WHAT? Nooo.” (After lots of screaming and throwing water on it with the shower on while holding a tennis shoe? He’s down the drain. They don’t come back up the drain do they???)Follow Christy on Twitter @ChristyKinney13 or email her at crazykidquotes@gmail.com

I only use that word at my little sister who’s sometimes a big pile!!”Follow Christy on Twitter @ChristyKinney13 or email her at crazykidquotes@gmail.com
